This happened while I was at the market on Saturday morning. I - and anyone - could not walk on it until Monday.

Except, apparently, a bird...and my feline residents. And Mr Sparrow. The bird's footprints are just by the back door.
That did necessitate a bit of bundu-bashing to get in and out: I do not do well being trapped indoors! Especially when we have gloriously sunny autumn days!
The kitty prints, I discovered at the corner, at the front.

With this, the stoeps stop being in permanent trip-up mode. The bench project is paused. For the moment.
All that remains of this phase is the French/agricultural drain and slab on the south gable end of the house. This, hopefully, during the course of this week.
Then, floor, insulation and window for the new bedroom. That means breaking through upstairs. Then the stairs. Not sure about actually when.
Until next time

here. Content for the first two, and sometimes the last, cross pollinate.
